Description
Presents a catalog of the Louvre Museum's Near Eastern antiquities department. This work contains photographs and physical descriptions of the department's exhibits that range from from Sumer and the city of Akkad, with monuments such as the Prince of Lagash's Stele of the Vultures from 2450 BC and the stele erected by Naram-Sin, King of Akkad, to celebrate a victory over barbarians in the Zagros Mountains. Also presents the Code of Hammurabi, discovered in 1901, which displays Babylonian Laws prominently, so that no man could plead their ignorance. The 18th-century BC mural of the Investiture of Zimrilim and the 25th-century BC Statue of Ebih-Il found in the ancient city-state of Mari are also on displayed in this work. The Persian portion of this catalog contains work from the archaic period, like the Funerary Head and the Persian Archers of Darius I. This section also contains rare objects from Persepolis.
